Blake Hughes was comfortable being in the closet, especially at work surrounded by macho firemen. A paramedic, still single at thirty, Blake kept his private life, just that, private.Hunter Rasmussen had transferred to LAFD from San Diego. Twenty-six, powerful and fit, the handsome blue-eyed brunette just wanted to leave the past behind. No one had to know what he went through down south. And he didn't need history to repeat itself. Being 'out' was not a good career move for all jobs, and particularly not with the fire service.When Hunter and Blake were assigned to the same shift pattern, they quickly became best friends. Partnered up on calls, hanging out together on days off, Hunter enjoyed Blake's company and Blake his. Until something, or someone from Hunter's ugly past begins to cause him problems.In the fire department, men rely on each other for their lives. Two go into a burning building, and two stay out to serve as their rescue team in case of emergency. Blake and Hunter were two men deeply in the closet. And only with devotion and love would their secret lives come 'out'. And Hunter and Blake find that courage in a very unusual place. Two devoted LAPD cops help show them the way.Two in...two out...it helps when someone is there to throw you a lifeline.
